Family give update after former England and Bath forward Ojomoh suffers stroke
By Online Editors
Former England and Bath forward Steve Ojomoh has suffered a stroke.
A fans favourite at the Rec, he was part of a hugely successful side in the early 1990's winning five league titles with the club.
Ojomoh also played for Gloucester, Italian club Parma and had a stint in Wales with Newport.
He earned 12 caps for England, playing four times at the 1995 World Cup in South Africa.
Ojomoh is in intensive care and in a statement on the Bath website his wife Emma said:
"Max, Ava and I thank you for all your kind messages and wishes. We can confirm Oj (Steve) has had a stroke, and he's not out of risk yet.
"The ICU team at Southmead are doing a fantastic job and we will keep everyone updated when we have news, but our focus is on Oj."

I get that Ben's role is to attract SA readers with controversial clickbait, but what about respecting the rivalry of over 100 years? The Boks won, we lost. The Boks have now won 4 world cups since their inclusion back into international rugby, and in that time the rest of the world combined have only won 4! It's an incredible achievement. Show respect, and then hope we win 2-0 in SA later this year. But don't be a whiner; it means you don't understand the rivalry at its essence. Winner takes all when NZ plays SA. Sport in it's purest form. Long may it continue.
